Mr. Ross finished speaking on the phone, and then looked carefully at my mother and me. For a few seconds he didn't speak, and just watched us. Then he said, "I'm pleased to meet you, Mrs. Sanders. I need some help with my work. My secretary is in hospital, and there's a lot of work to do. Sometimes you'll have to work late at night, because of time difference in New York and Tokyo. Is that right?      "Yes, that's all right," said my mother.      "Can you use a computer?"      "Yes."      "Good." He looked at me. "Is that your daughter?"      "Yes, this is Carol," said my mother.       "Hello." I said.      "Greta says you like gardening. There's a big garden here, so you can help Mr. Duncan. And there's a farm. Dan and Stella Parks live in the farmhouse and work on the farm. You can help them, too. We have some animals, some sheep, a few cows and chickens. And there's a horse called Smoke. He's gray, like his name. Can you ride?"      "Yes," I said, "I can ride a horse."      "You can ride Smoke around the island, if you like."      "I'd like that," I said, "Thank you."      "And we grow vegetables and fruit." he said, "I work on the farm sometimes. I enjoy it."       I smiled at him but he didn't smile back.      "Carol will enjoy working on the farm," said my mother, "Won't you, Carol?"      "Yes." I said.      "Mr. Ross looks sad," I thought, "But how did he get all his money? And why does he hide away on a British island?"

据专家权威分析，试题“阅读理解。 Mr. Ross finished speaking on the phone, and the..”主要考查你对  故事类阅读  等考点的理解。关于这些考点的“档案”如下：

故事类阅读

考点名称：故事类阅读

• 故事类阅读：
  文章一般描述的是某一件具体事情的发生发展或结局，有人物、时间、地点和事件。
  命题往往从故事的情节、人物或事件的之间的关系、作者的态度及意图、故事前因和后果的推测等方面着手，考查学生对细节的辨认能力以及推理判断能力。
  阅读这类材料时，同学们一定要根据主要情节掌握文章主旨大意，同时抓住每一个细节，设身处地根据文章内容揣摩作者的态度和意图，根据情节展开想象，即使是碰到深层理解题也可迎刃而解。

• 故事类阅读注意：
  初中生接触到的阅读材料大都是故事类。
  阅读故事类的材料，应该抓住人物线索、地点线索、时间线索和情节发展线索。
  
  特别注意的是，以上线索往往是并存的。因为情节的发展总是涉及到人物的变化、时间的推移、场景的变换等。
  而阅读材料后的阅读理解往往会围绕这些内容设计一些事实类的理解题。
  
  凡事实类的理解题都可以从阅读材料的表层文字中找到答案。
  
  在阅读故事类短文时，应理解文章的深层含义，也就是它的主题。在此需要注意的是，现在的阅读理解题在测试事实类的理解题的同时，往往有一道推理类理解测试题．
